Applications for the 2023 Pathways to Politics Program for Women are now closed, aside from Northern Territory which has been extended to 14 June 2023.
Pathways to Politics is a proudly non-partisan initiative that equips women with the skills, knowledge, confidence and networks they need to run for elected office and thrive as political leaders.
The program is now available in six states and territories - Victoria, Queensland, NSW, Northern Territory, South Australia and the ACT.
The Victorian Government has a target of having at least 50 per cent women Councillors and mayors in local government by 2025.
Young women, women who are Aboriginal, live with a disability, are from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds or identify as LGBTQI+ are especially encouraged to apply.
As part of its commitment to having women comprise 50 per cent of councillors by 2025, the Victorian Government is funding the Women Leading Locally program.
This program provides participants with resources and inspiration to campaign in the 2024 local government elections.
